In a Garden

(Before It's News)

All good is on its way to you. Are you ready to receive? This is the question I ask you.
 
You say: “You bet, God, I am ready to receive. Bring it on.”
 
Even so, you may have some attachment to having something to find fault with. Some attachment perhaps to being wronged and put upon. You are so accustomed to your life being a battle fought on all fronts. The fists of your mind are ready and waiting for a fight. You have your dukes up. What is the tenseness you carry with you but readiness to fight? What is tenseness but that? And what good does this tension-producing readiness do for you?
 
Have the idea that you do not need to defend yourself. Let go of need to defend in the same way you let go of need to offend. You don’t need either.
 
What if you could live in a friendly world that wants you here and wants to treat you well? If you would put your dukes down, you would come to see this as so. Let down your barriers. Tenseness is not your friend. You don’t need its protection. Tenseness does not protect you anyway. It rattles you, it makes you nervous. Put down your arms. Tenseness isn’t giving you much help anyway, is it? It does you no good. It keeps you in restraints.
 
If you want to relax, let go of any perceived need to be tense, and you will know relaxation. Take a vacation from tenseness. Be done with it. Why would you keep it? Don’t be a hoarder. Let go of all that doesn’t serve you or the Kingdom.
 
Withdraw from battle. Declare a truce. Loosen your tie, and loosen your blood vessels. Loosen your heart, and make space for your recognition of Truth which is the peace that beats all.
 
Come from peace, and you will see a new world, one in which you do not have to prove your bravery.
 
Let life be a piece of cake. How you look at life influences it. Let go of tension, and you are ready for joy to take over. Tension is tightening. Joy is loosening. You choose.
 
Fear does not belong to you. It is a hanger-on. Fear is a wastrel. Get rid of it. Just don’t have it. Fear does not have to do its will with you. Let My Will prevail. Fear gives you sucker punches. Fear cannot be trusted. Fear is like the big guy who bullies you, unnerves you, knocks you off your feet and makes the ground tremble under you. You can trust fear to do its number on you — you can trust fear for that all right.
 
Best to ignore fear that repeats and repeats itself yet is always finding new forms of itself to toss at you. Fear is not wise. It is foolhardy. Fear upholds itself, not you. Fear is a scoundrel. Send him off, and you will relax. To be free of fear is like a full-spa treatment. You can do very well without fear and its companions, anxiety and worry. Let them go. Without them, with the absence of these niggling pests, you are renewed. We can call this urban renewal. Well-done, My friends. Well-done.
 
No longer think of life as a challenge that you have to be ready for.
 
Think of life as an eddying pool in which you rest. Rest on your back, or in a canoe. You can paddle now and then as you like, and yet be laid-back. Where can despair take hold when you live life like as it is meant to be lived? Perhaps you will come to find yourself in a garden, in the Garden of Eden.
